It would be sweet to see Letang in a Vancouver uni, but GM MG needs to chase this deal, which is not in his character as a tough negotiator. There are times when you need to overpay and this may be one of them.

I thought I had read somewhere that the issue was more personal than financial, thanks for the link *someone*.

Letang is the real deal and would add another dimension to our offense.

Kills penalties too.

RH shot.

Trouble on your PP? Get Letang!

If we could get him at $7mil/per on an extension....

If we could get him for Edler + Schroeder...

Well you just do it.

Bonus that he would actually come in at a lower cap-hit than Edler in this coming cap-crunch season.

No problem giving him that raise when the cap goes up in 2014-15.

My name is Strangelove and I love this trade fantasy.

And clearing that off the cap for one year would allow us to keep Ballard for one more year if we needed defensive depth. Ballard blocks shots. Torts loves shot blockers. Ballard brings depth on D for a long season. Just saying.
